VMware 6.5 Beta Build 110068 (Workstation Development branch)
Image VMware allows you to run 'virtual machines' inside a Linux host. It is not an emulator. It provides a virtual computer within the host which can boot whichever OS you decide to put on the filesystem image that is used as a harddrive. It will run DOS 6.22, Win 3.1, Win9x, WinNT/2000/XP/2003, Linux, Novell, and more. The only main requirement is a 400 MHz or better machine, along with lots of RAM (128M minimum, 256M recommended). License: Other/Proprietary License with Free Trial Changes:
Several new operating systems are officially or experimentally supported as guests or hosts. ACE authoring features are now fully integrated with Workstation. VMs can now be started in streaming mode (before completion of download). Installation is now done with a bundle providing a wizard GUI and an alternative command line mode. The new "Easy Install" option allows unattended installation of several Windows OSs and Linux distributions. A graphical virtual network editor was implemented for Linux hosts. Several virtual hardware enhancements were made. Many other improvements were made.Image

NAME

       vmhgfs - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS

       modprobe vmhgfs

DESCRIPTION

       This is kernel filesystem module. None of the Tools components depend on vmhgfs, nor does it have any dependencies of its own, so it can be
       loaded at any time in the boot process.

       When mounting, one must use an NFS-like "<host>:<export>" syntax. The <host> field must be ".host", while the <export> field can be "/",  a
       path  to a specific Shared Folder, or a path to a subdirectory within that Shared Folder. Note that mounting may fail if Shared Folders are
       disabled in the host; don't be alarmed. The vmhgfs filesystem supports a plethora of mount options, run	vmware-hgfsmounter(8)  -h  to  see
       them.  We  typically  exclude vmhgfs from the locate database as crawling the Shared Folders is time consuming. To do this, add "vmhgfs" to
       PRUNEFS within updatedb's configuration file, typically found in /etc/updatedb.conf.

       We also typically mount vmhgfs via:

	    mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/hgfs

       Or by adding this line to /etc/fstab:

	    .host:/   /mnt/hgfs   vmhgfs  defaults  0 0

       The net effect is that all Shared Folders appear and disappear at /mnt/hgfs as they're added or removed.

OPTIONS

       vmhgfs has no options.
